Leaving the centre of Oslo, the route follows the waterfront before continuing west along the fjord. Much of the cycling is on dedicated paths, passing beaches, marinas and seaside areas. Sandvika is a pleasant place to stop, with cafés and a lively waterfront.
From Sandvika, the route climbs towards Asker, where you will find shops, cafés and other services. Beyond Asker, the route follows mostly dedicated walking and cycling paths, with a short section of around 2 km shared with motor traffic. The final part takes you down the Lier hills, with beautiful views towards Drammen.
The route then follows excellent cycling paths along the Drammen River into the city centre. Drammen offers a wide choice of accommodation, restaurants and cafés, making it a convenient place to end the first day.
